Hilarious. When you plan out a hard fork, you need to give AMPLE warning and be very precise about when the fork is going to occur. It would appear that has not been done in this case. Developer incompetence at it's finest.

I'm grabbing my popcorn and waiting for the shitstorm to play out.

Anyone interested knew that hard fork is coming for days Wink

All 6 of you that still care about this coin?

I certainly don't care what you care about, I'll be fine with other stuff Grin

As for the "risk of attack", do you really think anyone gives a shit enough to attack this premined garbagecoin? Let's be honest here.

Fixing these things by lowering the diff in a hard fork or capping max diff adjustments is a result of poor planning and foresight.

Agree with this though. People should never start with such big adjustments after TRC, FTC or CNC problems.

No explanation? Seems legit Roll Eyes

It was to decrease the difficulty update time, which was too high. when people attacked the networks to jump the difficulty, it was taking to long for the difficulty to come down. as a result high difficulty meant a long time for transactions and such.

This is the exact same problem FTC had.

These new alt coins need to come up with a different POW. Then at least the development of new GPU mining software will take time to implement.

Trash IMHO.

It was decided as a community to keep this hard for private until released

Depends. We decided in this case not to do that due to the risk of attacks which could slow down the time it takes to reach a fork if we wait for a certain block to be reached. Therefore we decided to give it to the exchanges/cryptsy and then release it at one time in order to decrease the chance of such an attack. There was risk involved in this, however, the coin was dying without a fork due to the high difficulty.
